Former Facebook Workers: We Routinely Suppressed Conservative
5-9-16, Facebook workers routinely suppress news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential “trending” news section... Facebook’s efforts to play the news game reveal the company to be much like the liberal leftist media that is rapidly driving toward irrelevancy: a select group of professionals with vaguely center-left sensibilities.

Pres Trump Syria Pullout: Question From Turkey's Erdogan 'Why?'

US Natl Security Team Failed to Convince Pres Trump that it's in the US best interest to remain in Syria when only 1% of ISIS Remains

12-22-18, President Donald Trump reportedly stumped national security adviser John Bolton with one crucial question before making his heavily-criticized decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria. Bolton was forced to admit Turkey's Pres Erdogan question was backed up by Mattis, Pompeo, U.S. special envoy for Syria Jim Jeffrey and special envoy for the anti-ISIS coalition Brett McGurk, who have said that IS retains only 1 percent of its territory. So 'WHY ARE WE STILL THERE?'

​No good answer was forthcoming but the national security team spent the following weekend unsuccessfully trying to alter Pres Trump’s decision, to no avail.

White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller summed up the president’s view during Thursday, 12-20-18,  appearance with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer show, he said:
​
“This president got elected to get our foreign policy back on the right track after years of being adrift. One foreign policy blunder after another in Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya hasn’t worked out for our national interest. And let’s talk about Syria about the fact — ISIS is the enemy of Russia, Syria's Assad and of Turkey. Are we supposed to stay in Syria for generation after generation, spilling American blood to fight the enemies of all those countries? Wolf, when did the American people sign up to be in every war in every place in every side of every conflict all over planet earth?”

USA Legalizes Farming Hemp aka Cannabis

The female cannabis [hemp] plant grows glands on the leaves of its flowers that contain at least 60 identified and active cannabinoids - drug (among other beneficial compounds) that have a plethora of medical uses. 

Hemp is officially legalized with President Trump’s signature on the Farm Bill
12-20-18, After nearly 50 years of prohibition, industrial hemp aka cannibis will be legal to grow across America beginning January 1, 2019. It’s another huge victory that helps Make America Great Again by unleashing the power of agricultural freedom and natural health. More here and here Among other things, this new law changes certain federal authorities relating to the production and marketing of hemp… These changes include removing hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, which means that it will no longer be an illegal substance under federal law.

What's the Difference Between Hemp and Marijuana?
According to a 1976 study published by the International Association of Plant Taxonomy concluded “both hemp varieties and marijuana varieties are of the same genus, Cannabis, and the same species. Hemp refers to strains of Cannabis sativa that have been bred [male plants] specifically for fiber used for clothing and construction, oils and topical ointments, nutritional benefits and a wide and growing variety of other purposes that don’t involve intoxication.

Marijuana is a slang term used to describe strains of Cannabis sativa specifically bred [female plants] for the potent resinous glands (trichomes) that grow on the flowers and some leaves (buds). The female cannabis plant grows glands on the leaves of its flowers that contain at least 60 identified and active cannabinoids - drug (among other beneficial compounds) that have a plethora of medical uses. 
Picture
Dana Larsen said, “The international definition of hemp as opposed to marijuana was developed by a Canadian researcher in 1971 scientist Ernest Small published a little-known, but very influential book, The Species Problem in Cannabis. Small drew an arbitrary line on the continuum of cannabis types, and decided that 0.3 percent THC in a sifted batch of cannabis flowers was the difference between hemp and marijuana.” Excerpted more here and here www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-boy-girl

God Came Down to Save Mankind 
Series #4
​Mary Knew Her Son, Jesus, Was HER Savior ​
Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior."

Luke 1:47

​12-22-18, The Holy Bible clearly states that all men have sinned, including the virgin Mary, the mother of the Messiah and Lord Jesus Christ. All of us have fallen short of the glory of God [Romans 3:23] and death spread to all men [Romans 5:12]. Jesus came to save us from our sin and when Mary went to see her cousin Elizabeth, she said:

"My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For He hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name. And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy; As He spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to His seed forever."  Luke 1:47-48, 49-50, 51-52, 53-55

Scriptures categorically state that the Lord Jesus’ human family consisted of many children. His mother, Mary can never be considered ‘immaculate’ as the Roman Catholic Church proclaims her a perpetual virgin. Mary & Joseph's children; Jesus’ half brethren: James, Joseph, Simon, Judas [not Iscariot] and at least two unnamed sisters. Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Jude 1:1

Ignore the Hysteria and Complaints About the USA Pulling out of Middle East - Pres Trump Was Elected to do just that - 'We aren't the world's policeman!'

Time For United States to Police Our Own Neighborhood
12-22-18, Canada Free Press -- In November 2016 American people elected Donald Trump to be our nation's leader; expecting him to fulfill his campaign promises. So far he's accomplished many: Lower taxes, Embassy in Jerusalem; more jobs, reducing requirements to do business, removing the 'mandate' from O-Care, American companies coming back to the US and more.

About time he orders pull out of the Middle East

Syria is a hodgepodge of multiple terrorist groups, regional forces, foreign troops and religious fighters exerting influence. Our forces have been working with the Kurdish fighters in the Northeast section of the country fighting Islamic State terrorists. The operation has been an amazing success and the Islamic State has suffered tremendous losses. In both Iraq and Syria, the terrorists now control only 1% of the land they used to dominate.

Afghanistan is next ...
The British and the Russians were not able to tame the inhospitable environment of Afghanistan and after SEVENTEEN YEARS 2400 Americans [more here] have given their lives with no real improvement! In 2018 THIRTEEN Americans have died. Fortunately, the Trump administration has announced that over the next few months, 7,000 troops will be withdrawing from Afghanistan.

It's time to remove all U.S. forces from the longest running war in our nation’s history. More here

US Govt Leaders Care Little About Americans

12-22-18, FoxBusiness -- The US Senate failed to compromise and make a deal with Pres Trump's budget and just walked away. The US federal government partially shutdown early Saturday.12-22-18. The House of Rep passed the spending bill, but not the US Senate. They approve spending $10 billion in South America but refuse to spend $5 billion to protect America's southern border with a wall. 

List of Government Shutdowns |here -- There have been 20 government shutdowns in modern U.S. history. In 1995 during Bill Clinton's administration it lasted five full days from Nov. 13 through Nov. 19. Some 800,000 federal workers were furloughed. And under Obama a 16-day shutdown from October 1, to October 17, 2013 when most federal operations came to a halt.

The current shutdown is partial; we'll hardly notice it as essential services continue:
  • national security
  • health like veteran's hospitals
  • Social Security
  • The military

"Mary brought forth her firstborn son, wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

Luke 2:7

12-21-18, After Joseph and Mary traveled by foot and donkey from Nazareth to the city of Bethlehem, they found all inns were over crowded and no room for them as so many other people were there for the registration and paying their tax. 

However, one inn keeper offered them the only accommodations he had ... his stable. At the same time, there were shepherds watching their sheep in the field when angels appeared in the heavens singing and praising God. They were told:

"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.​ Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace good will toward men." Luke 2:10-11, 13-14

When He Was With Obama 2010-2013 He Objected to the USA Support of Israel Claiming Israel's 'Settlements' Could Be Apartheid - He praised John Kerry ...

  1. Mattis and Israel – Not a Love Story | The Jewish Press ...www.jewishpress.com/news/us-news/mattis-and-israel-not-a... 12/20/18, When it came to the peace process, there was no Daylight between the views of General Mattis and say, Peace Now, or Meretz, or, come to think of it, President Vladimir Putin. In 2013, Mattis told CNN: “If I’m in Jerusalem and I put 500 Jewish settlers out here to the east and there’s 10,000 Arab settlers in here, if we draw the border to include them, either it ceases to be a Jewish state or you say the Arabs don’t get to vote — apartheid.”

12-2-2016, Algemeiner --  Mad Dog’ James Mattis was  originally chosen by President Trump because of his commitment to building up the US military after Obama's heavy handed dealings and reductions. Mattis is on the record decrying the burdens that Israel placed on the United States. In 2013, Gen. Mattis, then recently retired as the top American commander in the Middle East said he paid a “military security price every day” for U.S. support of Israel. Mattis also described Israel’s control over Judea and Samaria [aka west bank] as “unsustainable” and warned that Jewish settlements would turn Israel into an “apartheid” state.
4.
 Trump is Right to Withdraw from Syria
12-21-18, The resignation of Defense Sec James Mattis has aroused the ire of CNN the 24/7 Hate Trump Network – excellent indication that the President is on the right track. In Mattis' letter of resignation he admits that he agrees with the President on the salient issue at play in Syria: “Like you, I have said from the beginning that the armed forces of the United States should not be the policeman of the world.” That’s why it’s time to bring the troops home from Syria; Pres Trump is right to do so.

5. Where was the DC establishment ‘panic’ when OBAMA fired Gen. Mattis without even calling him?
12-21-18, As has been the case in the Trump era, the Washington “establishment” — politicians and the media are in a tizzy over recent personnel changes undertaken by  Pres Trump.  Def Sec James Mattis resignation has caused the hysteria to increase unlike when Pres Obama fired Mattis without even a phone call | here.

Good I'm glad he's leaving -- Pres Trump campaigned on reducing the USA involvement in nations who hate us ... giving American lives and money for anti American countries is wrong - we are not the world's babysitters.

God Came Down to Save Mankind 
Series #2, Joseph took his wife, Mary to Bethlehem
There went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. So everyone had to go his own city. So Joseph went up from Galilee with Mary his espoused wife being great with child. They went out of the city of Nazareth to be taxed, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

Picture
Luke 2:1-2, 3-5

12-20-18, Joseph's hometown was Bethlehem so because the Emperor aka Caesar Agustus declared all the people had to go register and be taxed, Joseph took his very pregnant wife, Mary with him to Bethlehem. (Isaiah 7:10-16; Micah 5:1-6; Matthew 1:18-25) 

Picture

​How many days did they walk? What's the distance between Nazareth and Bethlehem?
​
  • Distance? About 70 miles as the crow flies, but Joseph & Mary probably walked more than 90 miles to Bethlehem from Nazareth. 
  • It's believed that Joseph chose a safer and more comfortable route that took them southeast through the Jezreel Valley and further east to the Jordan Valley. Continuing south to Jericho, they probably proceeded up through the Judean Desert to Jerusalem and onward to Bethlehem.
  • How many days did it take? Many scholars believe 4 to 7 days.

Scripture for Today, 12-19-18: Be That Light

12/19/2018

Picture

Battlefield of Darkness & Light
“Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” 

Picture
Philippians 2:14-15

​​12-19-18, * -- The headlines around these holidays are alarming. The narrative seems to be pointing toward a great recession with disruptions in the economy, government, politics and our society. There's no rest from disruption because the media and the disrupters make it so. They're making their noise accusing others of what they're doing, judging people from the content of their own wicked and dark hearts, spewing forth derision, suspicion and hate.

What is it to us? Why do we have to allow them to occupy the battlefield of our minds? Does their darkness overcome the light of Christ and the Holy Spirit in each of us? I stand to say “NO.”

The Lord Jesus informs us:
  • "I Am the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12
  • “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16

There is a path we all travel, but we do not have to travel in darkness because Christ is the Light for the just [Habakkuk 2:4]. He transfers it to His disciples that they might also be the light of the world. During this holiday season we may see friends and family behave shamelessly as they are in darkness, but we don't have to take part in it. We can be and share that light and joy in the midst of sorrow. Psalm 119:15; Proverbs 4:14-15, 16-18

Remember, as the light of the world, we are also ambassadors of Christ, emissaries of the kingdom of God. As is written in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, love and of a sound mind.”

Since 1967 Three Hundred Year Old Italian Nativity Scene Annually Displayed at USA White House

Picture
12-19-18, The liberal, leftist God haters don't like it, nevertheless the traditional 'Nativity Scene' of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ has annually been displayed at the USA White House since Claudia "Lady Bird" Johnson's days in 1967.

The display was a gift to the White House from philanthropist and collector Mrs. Charles W. Englehard, a founding member of First Lady Jackie Kennedy’s committee to restore the aging White House. Mrs. Kennedy’s successor, "Lady Bird" Johnson, asked Mrs. Englehard to find an appropriate manger of Jesus' birth for the White House Christmas collection. 

After scouring Europe, Mrs Englehard found the eighteenth century Neapolitan Creche through the Christmas Crib Association of Italy.

The set contains: 22 wooden figures that has a backdrop of wood and terracotta. They are ornately dressed and the Three Wise Men ride horses instead of camels.The Baby Jesus is crowned. More here

12/18/2018

God Came Down to Save Mankind
Series 
#1, Angel Appeared to Mary & Joseph
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Jesus made Himself of no reputation taking

upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men."

Philippians 2:5-7

12-18-18, The anti-God world has failed in its attempt to remove the Lord Jesus Christ from the annual CHRISTMAS holiday when mankind celebrates His birth. 
​
The historical facts begin when the Angel Gabriel went to the virgin Mary in the town of Nazareth. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph of the house of David. Gabriel told her she was blessed, highly favored; the Lord was with her and not to fear. Mary was troubled about his salutation and message.

Gabriel told her she would become pregnant and bring forth the Son of the Highest, He shall have the throne of David, reign over the house of Jacob forever; His kingdom shall have no end and shall name Him Jesus.

​Mary questioned how it was possible as she was a virgin never being with a man. Gabriel told her the power of Holy Ghost would overshadow her and her son would be called the Son of God. Luke1:26-35​
Picture
Although Mary was a virgin and her fiancé Joseph never ‘knew’ her; when he found out she was pregnant he planned on protecting her. However, in a dream the angel Gabriel appeared to him letting him know - THAT which was conceived in her - was of God and not to fear.  The birth would be fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy from Isaiah 7:14. He would save His people from their sins and His name would be Jesus.

Joseph married Mary and did not ‘know’ her until she brought forth her first born son, Jesus. Matthew 1:18-25
Picture
Note: One of the world's prominent ‘religions’ [Roman Catholic (here)] teach that Mary was a perpetual virgin never having other children; this is false teaching as Jesus had many half brothers and sisters as reported in Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Jude 1:1

12-17-18, NBCNews -- Hays County Texas's Roxli Doss is back to horseback riding since her inoperable cancerous brain tumor disappeared. Doctors are amazed because medically it just doesn't make sense.

It's hard to imagine that since June 2018 doctors diagnosed Roxli with an inoperable brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG [here].

Dr. Virginia Harrod with Dell Children’s Medical Center said, "It is very rare, but when we see it, it is a devastating disease. You have decreased ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficulty with breathing."

Roxli went through weeks of radiation, even though there is no cure. All the family and parents Gena and Scott Doss could do was pray for a miracle; AND THEY GOT ONE! ​More here AND here

How US Presidents Accelerated
Bible Prophecy
God said, "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

Picture
Genesis 12:3

​12-17-18, * -- Beginning in 2005, when US president George W. Bush coerced and pressured then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to remove some 8,500 Israeli Jews from Gaza, US presidents set America on collision course with the one true God. Within a few days of the Gaza evacuation, Katrina [1] hit the US coast. Inside of six months, Sharon suffered a stroke and spent eight years in a coma before passing.

Americans elected the immediate past “president,” who promised “A New Beginning” with Muslims and the banned Muslim Brotherhood became his major foreign policy partner. Today, Israel is under attack and the new US president Donald Trump is trying to fix the problems the previous presidents helped create.

Picture
​The moment the Israelis were removed from Israel's Gaza Strip in 2005, the Islamic terror group Hamas moved in. In Gaza elections, the people who claim to be Palestinians elected Hamas over the other Muslim terrorist groups in Israel, PLO and Fatah. This was the true beginning of what five years later in 2010 became known as the Arab Spring where national Arab governments were being replaced with Islamist, Muslim Brotherhood-backed, Islamic terror group, al Qaeda-supported rebellions. Hamas provided a clear model for the Muslim Brotherhood to use the leverage of a sympathetic USA White House [Obama's] to instigate rebellions in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Syria. The result was widespread chaos in the Middle East and a resurgence of Islamic terrorism surrounding the Jewish state of Israel.

Picture
Today, the destabilization of Syria from Arab Spring has proven an ongoing threat to peace and has caused much human suffering. The Islamic terror group in Lebanon, Hezbollah's missiles rain down on Israel clashing with Israeli military have become commonplace.

​Hamas has continued its missile attacks from Gaza and the West Bank (traditional Jewish lands of Samaria and Judea), as well as fomenting riots. 
Picture
Picture
On Thursday, December 6, 2018 the UN’s Arab members joined together to vote down a US-sponsored resolution condemning Hamas as a terrorist group [here]. The vote was significant because the Trump Administration has been trying to turn the tide of anti-Israel sentiment that was further allowed to entrench during the previous White House. 

​US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley told the General Assembly before the vote that "peace must be built on truth. To its shame, the UN General Assembly has avoided the truth of Hamas terrorism for far too long" and that the assembly could make history by condemning “one of the most obvious and grotesque cases of terrorism in the world." Instead, the vote, which required two-thirds majority to pass, fell short 87 in favor to 57 opposed with 33 abstentions.

Picture
Picture
Speaking of the end time Day of the Lord, Zechariah 12:9 says: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” 
We can see how prophecy unfolds even by tracking very specific actions since 2005. This is how the nations so easily stand against Israel's capitol of Jerusalem and how the leaders we elect establish our destiny as a nation and a people. Zephaniah 1:14; Joel 2:11; Zechariah 14:1-2, 3-4; Acts 1:17-18, 19-21

Turkey Threatens Incursion Into Syria Against US Supported Kurds
12-14-18, NYTimes -- ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey president Erdogan said within a few days they will launch a new military operation against U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters in Syria. U.S. troops are deployed with the Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria, in part to prevent clashes with Turkey. This move likely to further strain ties between NATO allies Turkey and the United States. Erdogan, who considers this Kurdish controlled territory hostile to Turkey, has repeatedly threatened military action against the mainly Kurdish units in northeastern Syria.
***
Britain's War Monitoring Group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that shortly after Erdogan's announcement at least four people were killed in two explosions when a motorcycle exploded near a mosque in the town of al-Bab, killing three people and another explosion occurred in the town Azaz where one child was killed.

Does Turkey support ISIS? Yes
5-17-17, Quora -- Turkey is not of afraid of ISIS as they are pretty much the same entity. Turkey is scared of Kurds and has always been, hence the reason it supports terrorism in the Middle East.

The US State Dept or the Dept of Defense are busily ignoring the danger from this monster; Turkey & ISIS

12-15-18, Robert Spencer* -- Many whine about Russia & Putin being a thug, and although he *IS* a thug, at least he pays attention to the nukes and military we have. Islamic jihadis like Turkey's Pres Erdogan don’t pay any attention to them having every intention of destroying the US.

Clearly all Erdogan must do (or any pious Muslim leader) is to keep urging us to accept more Muslim migrants into our nation. Every large group of Muslims is guaranteed to have appx 10% pious members with the desire to kill kuffar (non-Muslims). Our leaders *I*G*N*O*R*E* this fact; we are led by FOOLS!

The bottom line is that Erdogan and other pious Muslims WILL win, because we are doing little to defend ourselves. Worse yet, if citizens here who understand the danger attract enough attention, the left will take notice and ruin their lives. More here

Turkey’s Free Press Withers as Erdogan Jails Journalists
11-17-16, NYTimes -- The journalists have been jailed since a failed coup in July 2016, and news outlets have been closed or taken over by supporters of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. According to Comm to Protect Journalists, Turkey now has handily outstripped China as the world’s biggest jailer of journalists. [Note: Yet Turkey is the source [here]

John Haller Discusses World Order
​Abominations in the World
 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. v8 ..these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was."

2 Timothy 3:1,8-9

12-16-18, John Haller -- Today's messages focuses on the world and the Middle East, that "Cup of Trembling" foretold in Scripture [Jerusalem, Zechariah 12:2] where the world will converge. Who knew that a small strip of land on the Eastern Mediterranean would cause such a fuss at a time such as this?  Jeremiah 32:34-35

John Haller does a good job sharing current world affairs and past historical events with Holy scripture. Is climate changing and if so, can we control it? He shares insights from book 'A WORLD IN DISARRAY' by Richard Haass. John doesn't agree with everything Haass has to say but nonetheless, very informative. More ...
